Step 3. Three Quick Facial Photos
Facial photos should be taken with your back against a plain wall and your phone camera flash on. They should be from shoulders up as shown below.
Step 4. Five Quick Teeth Selfies
All you will need to capture these photos is a cell phone and a pair of spoons. The spoons will be used to keep the cheeks and lips out of the way so that we can get better views of your teeth. For clearer, brighter photos please make sure that your flash is on and the photos are focused. Below are examples of what the photos should look like.

*HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
*HIPAA was passed by the U.S. government in 1996 in order to establish privacy and security protections for health information
*Information stored on our computers is encrypted.
*Most popular email services (ex. Hotmail®, Gmail®, Yahoo®) do not utilize encrypted email.
*Email is a very popular and convenient way to communicate for a lot of people, so in their latest modification to the HIPAA act, the federal government provided guidance on email and HIPAA.
*The guidelines state that if a patient has been made aware of the risks of unencrypted email, and that same patient provides consent to receive health information via email, then a health entity may send that patient personal medical information via unencrypted email.
